Victoria Postles works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She helps with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Victoria also supports people dealing with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness and caregiving stress.
Victoria practises using client-centred, existential, and narrative approaches to therapy. Sessions focus on listening, making sense of repeating patterns, and finding choices that fit an individual’s life.
Background and approach
She keeps language straightforward and aims to help people translate insight into everyday changes. With five years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Victoria brings practical experience from a variety of mental health settings. She works with adults to notice emotional patterns and build new responses over time.
Conversations are paced to suit each person’s needs. Therapy may involve looking at how past experiences shape present relationships and behaviour. Victoria uses narrative ideas to help people reframe their stories and existential ideas to address meaning and life direction.
The client-centred stance keeps the person’s priorities central during this work. She offers sessions in English to people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session according to the therapist’s availability.
How Victoria’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. In this approach the therapist offers empathy and acceptance, which helps people feel understood and decide what matters most to them.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and life direction. It can help when people are facing major life changes, questions about purpose, or feelings of being stuck, by encouraging honest reflection about values and priorities.
Narrative Therapy works by looking at the stories people tell about themselves. Reframing those stories can reduce shame, open up new choices, and change how someone understands recurring problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Victoria will discuss different ways of working and will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. This is a joint process where the therapist and client try things and adjust as needed.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from wherever they are, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and text-based messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options increase flexibility and allow people to keep therapy going despite travel, work or family pressures.
